SIBI-P1 H5061-08
a strike-mark
| Root | נגע (n-g-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | touching, striking, reaching, making contact, afflicting |
| Semantic Range | blow, stroke, wound, plague, affliction, diseased spot (especially leprous mark), divinely inflicted strike |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, נֶגַע often denotes a divinely permitted or inflicted affliction, especially visible skin disease, linking physical marks with covenantal or moral dimensions. It reflects the tangible impact of divine or human striking—where contact results in visible consequence. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa), derived from the verbal root נגע (Qal: to touch, strike). Related verbal forms in the data include Qal perfect 3ms ("he struck/he touched"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נֶגַע (masculine singular absolute) derives from the root נגע meaning "to touch" or "to strike." "Strike-mark" preserves the concrete sense of something produced by a blow or contact, reflecting both the physical and afflictive nuance of the root while accurately representing the masculine singular form. |
